DSiWare Fighting Game With Camera Created Characters Coming Stateside?

[wraggster]

Nintendo made a game that uses the Nintendo DSi’s camera to create characters called Photo Fighter X last year. Seems like Nintendo will bring it to other regions under the name Photo Dojo.

You start Photo Fighter X or Photo Dojo by taking pictures in different poses and picking a fireball. This guy’s fireball is a giant fist, but you can create whatever you want. Then you can bring your photo fighter into a side-scrolling beat ‘em up or fight a photo friend in versus mode. This isn’t a Street Fighter replacement, but Photo Fighter X is a neat toy to play with.

And Australia might be creating photo fighters soon since the OFLC rated Photo Dojo with Nintendo as the publisher.

Sounds worth checking out, a cool game with lots of potential, but sadly also potential for paranoid church-going housewives to get all bent out of shape with and claiming 'it's turning their children into violent street fighters'. I can see this coming a mile away.
